Athens After War Athenian Life and Wealth Rise
Durant surveys postwar Athens describing a rebuilt city with a 300 vessel fleet, a thriving market, and a rising rich class alongside impoverished workers. Slaves and artisans formed unions, profits from piracy and shipping soar, prices climb while wages stay modest. Homes are stark, daily life centers on outdoor spaces, and athletic culture shapes civic identity.

Pericles and Anaxagoras shaping Athens rise and rule
A fragmentary analysis discusses Pericles' long tenure as Athenian leader from 460 to 429 B C and his reliance on philosophy, notably Anaxagoras, to guide democracy toward a high civilization. It contrasts democratic ideals with the power of strategos and treasury control.

Beware the Cough or Cold That Hangs On
Persistent coughs and colds can lead to serious trouble. Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote formula, soothes inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. It travels to the stomach, is absorbed, and targets the trouble while building the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if not relieved when used as directed.
